Blue Screen of Death

My computer hasn't had one of these for a while, but last night it decided to crash twice, losing most of the evening's work. Annoying.

Spent this morning in a darkened room, learning more about the CMS. Spent most of the time wondering how the program worked, what -1 means in Pearl or Java (infinity, basically), and how the program could be better. In theory, it makes sense, but it's far to complicated, unautomated, and the interface is terrible in the post Web 2.0 world.

Attempted to write labels in the afternoon, but read up on the philosophy of law instead. I suspect this is anglocentric, but I wonder what accounts for the importance of Hobbes, Locke, Bentham, Austin? I suspect a primer written elsewhere would emphasize others. Am happier, however, with one of the definitions of natural law, which is the rule of God worked out on earth, by rational beings (and then Grotius broke the link between the moral law and a supreme being).
